1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Supernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a rare sensation of additional limbs that are perceived to exist alongside existing limbs. SPL can occur in various neural regions, but it is rare for SPL to be caused by left hemisphere cerebral infarction. In this report, we describe a case of a 64-year-old woman with SPL after a stroke. She had a history of handedness change. A neurological examination revealed that she had right hemiplegia, unilateral spatial neglect (USN), anosognosia, and pan-sensory loss on the right side of her body. Brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging disclosed cerebral infarction in the left corona radiata region. She suffered from SPL in the right upper limb. Although SPL was prolonged, the recovery of USN was noted four months after onset, followed by the improvement of SPL.
